Beaded hair tie-- or is it a bracelet?

This is an easy way to deco up your hair ties into
bracelets, or is a bracelet into hair tie.You be the judge.

You will need:

Beads of choice

20 gauge colored wire

Wire cutters

Needle nosed pliers

Crimping tool

Large crimps

Hair ties

Scissors

Ruler

1.Cut the hair tie with the scissors.You will have one straight elastic
piece.

2.Using the crimping tool and a large crimp insert
one end of the elastic piece into the crimp and squeeze with the crimping tool
tightly to close.Use the tool to
bend the crimp flat.

3.Repeat step two on the other end.You will have two ends with crimps
attached.

4.Cut a 2 –inch piece of 20-gauge wire in your
choice of color. Working on one end of the elastic piece, insert the wire into
the loop of the crimp on one end of the elastic and curl with needle nosed
pliers tightly to close.

5.Thread your choice of beads onto the wire and
insert into the crimp loop on the opposite end of the elastic and curl the wire
tip like you did on the other side.
